This
is one of the recipes which we have been given
permission to reproduce by another of the UK
recipe sites, Recipes4us.
It is a big site with a wealth of information
and recipes. If you would like to have a look

I
asked to be able to feature more of their recipes
as I consider that they have an excellent selection
which are clearly laid out and interesting -
making them one of the leading UK recipe sites.

In
a bowl, cream together the butter and sugar
until soft and pale. Gradually add the eggs
and mix well then add the flour. Beat thoroughly
with a wooden spoon, adding enough milk to
form a mixture which drops from the spoon
when lightly tapped.

Grease
a 900ml / 1 1/2 pt pudding basin and pour
the golden syrup into the bottom. Add the
pudding mixture, cover with greaseproof paper,
secure with string and place in a steamer
or a large saucepan with enough boiling water
to come to within 5cm / 2 inches on the top
of the basin.

Cook
steadily for 1 hour 30 minutes keeping an
eye on the water level and topping up as necessary.
